A set of four Chinese porcelain teabowls and saucers each with a man and a tiger in a landscape. These are small and of very fine eggshell porcelain.
Tigers are rare on Chinese porcelain, and this design probably refers to Wusong, a character from the Chinese literary work The Water Margin, who slew a tiger with his bare fists.
